    Who is the greatest singer of all time?

    Seeing as NSC can't come close to deciding who the greatest rock band are, let's try greatest singer.

    I'm going for Sinatra, maybe not the greatest voice but for delivery and timing not many can compete imo.

    A mention for Bob Dylan if only for his intonation and delivery if not the voice per se.

    I could listen to either of the above all day and night...I often do
    Falmer, concrete proof that if you build it they will come

    Until the day I hear a song better than Rule the World, the answer will always be Gary Barlow. A great voice + personality and charm = a true popstar.
